14. This might be why Trump thinks it's okay to mock people with disabilities.

In eugenics, people with disabilities are genetically inferior and "pollute" the gene pool.

Before exterminating Jews, Hitler and the Nazis began murdering people with disabilities. They used them as experimental subjects to develop the technologies of mass murder--gas vans, and eventually gas chambers. The first victims were people, including children, in German institutions.

So Trump's feelings about people with disabilities might go beyond simple disdain. He, like the Nazis, might actually see them as a threat to society. "The poisoned seed" to use the name of a Nazi film about disability.

The man is truly, truly frightening.
